Spy Protection 2009

Spy Protection 2009 is a rogue anti-spyware application, which was probably created by the same group of scammers who created the well known fake anti-spyware application called SysAntivirus 2009. Spy Protection 2009 tends to be installed via Trojan applications, such as Zlob or Vundo. These Trojans gain access to the computer via security holes. Spy Protection 2009 can also be installed manually by the system user from the Spy Protection 2009 website.

Once installed, this rogue uses well known schemes and tactics to coerce users into purchasing a licensed version of this fake anti-spyware. Spy Protection 2009 might flood the user's computer with pop-up alert messages about fake infections and dangerous security problems. Of course, the claim following these pop-ups is such that these infections can only be removed with the full version of this rogue. Best bet is to remove Spy Protection 2009 as soon as it has been detected.
